Extracts

An Extract is a concentrated form of an herb which is obtained by mixing the herb with an appropriate solvent (such as alcohol and/or water).  Herbal extracts are usually made from stimulating herbs, such as cayenne, and antispasmodic herbs, like lobelia.  Extracts are rubbed into the skin as a treatment for strained muscles and ligaments, or for the relief of arthritis and other inflammations.

Extracts can be made by placing four ounces of dried herbs or eight ounces of fresh, bruised herbs into a jar or bottle with a tight-fitting lid.  Add one pint of vinegar, alcohol or massage oil.  With time the liquid will extract the medicinal properties of the herbs.  It takes about four days to get a potent extract if the herbs are powdered, and about fifteen days if the herbs are whole or cut.  Your only work is to shake the bottle once or twice daily.  If olive or almond oils are used in the extract, a little vitamin E can be added for a preservative.  Making an extract with oil is useful for massage purposes.  Using alcohol extract (vodka or gin) or rubbing alcohol (for external use only) allows the liquid to evaporate quickly, leaving the herbs on the skin, and providing a cooling sensation.

Olive leaf extract will not cure diseases, but it will kill most pathogens that get in its way.  Your immune system will start to regain strength once pathogens have been destroyed.

How do you know if your immune system has been compromised? Look for signs such as tenacious allergies, muscle and joint pain or swelling, fatigue, digestive issues, eczema or other skin disorders, shingles, reoccurring yeast infections, fungus, loss of appetite...it might be time to pull out the Olive Leaf and brew up a batch.

Antibiotics have been assaulted for a long time.  The ones that survive mutate and get stronger making it harder to get rid of these pathogens with antibiotics. Olive leaf is a natural antibiotic that pathogens haven't had to reckon with. Remember, Olive Leaf will not cure disease but will kill pathogens that cause disease.

Please consult your physician before starting Olive Leaf Therapy as it can interfere with glucose levels, some drugs and medical treatments.  Avoid if lactating or pregnant. There is a major change that takes place when starting large doses of Olive Leaf.  The "die off" of the pathogens may cause symptoms to temporally worsen.  After a few days you should feel energized and see an improvement of symptoms.

How Olive Leaf works:

It searches for the bad pathogens and dissolves the outer lining of the germ and then penetrates the infected cell to prohibit it from multiplying. When Oleuropein (olive leaf) is taken orally, two natural enzymes in the body, esteraize and beta-glycosidase, convert the Oleuropein to elolenic acid. Elolenic acid derived from this source helps strengthen the immune system.
